LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2026

4 DRINKS, 4 WAYS

Spanish Rosé Three Spanish rosés, four ways to enjoy them. These bottles shine when chilled or mixed into frozen cocktails, elegant spritzers and sangria that clears out your fruit drawer. The combination of bright fruit and zingy acidity means they adapt to your plans, whether that’s casual deck sipping or full-scale patio entertaining. Spanish rosé earns its keep all season long, from Canada Day through Labour Day and beyond.

Arbolencia Rosé Organic LCBO 48474, $9.95 Stone fruit meets red berries in this bone-dry rosé. Despite the lack of sweetness, it’s deliciously fruit-forward. Toro Bravo Shiraz Garnacha Rosado LCBO 14145, $10.90 Garnacha and Shiraz combine in this rosé to create peach-toned colour and grapefruit flavour. Raspberry and redcurrant notes join the mix with zippy acidity. Orx Soltura Rosé Organic LCBO 48469, $11.95 This Spanish rosé made Spanish rosé packs enough fruit intensity and acidity to hold its own when blended, muddled or mixed. The grapefruit and berry notes play well with liqueurs, fresh fruit and bubbles.

BLOOMING ROSÉ This strawberry-spiked rosé spritzer gets a purple glow from crème de violette. Just prep ahead of time, chill and pour over ice when guests arrive. It’s minimal effort, but maximum wow factor for gatherings.

THE CLASSIC POUR Spanish rosé needs nothing but a glass and warm weather. The bold fruit and bright acidity cut through rich charcuterie and aged cheeses, making it an ideal pour for deck hangs and outdoor celebrations.

ROSÉ SANGRIA This flexible sangria formula works with any combination of berries, saving trips to the store and helping to clear out the crisper. When it’s time to serve, just add bubbles and herbs for instant party-readiness.

FROSÉ A simple blend of rosé, elderflower liqueur, strawberries, white cranberry juice and ice pulsed until slushy. Floral notes and berry tartness make this frozen wine cocktail the answer on hot afternoons.
